Friends Featured: Emily

I know some seriously talented people. Look at these cute Christmas Blocks!

My Sister-in-Law Emily asked if I would cut some vinyl out for her and she would give me a set of the blocks. I jumped all over that. They are seriously so cute and add some color.

Thanks Emily. 

Seriously so cute.

Kricket's Korner: Tulle Tu-tu

tu-tu

step 1: cut strips of tulle (any length you want, I left these a bit longer I would probably cut them shorter next time and not do as many of them)

step 2: fold the strip in half and slip knot (?) it around a stretchy headband

 *continue step 2 with as many strips as you want I did quite a few so it is pretty fluffy

 *if you want it shorter this is when you would cut it

that is basically it.

 , it is so simple and it turned out cute(at least I think so)

I need me one of these. They are so cute. Also these are a cute little girl gift!

"The Stockings were Hung.."

Craftywives.blogspot.com did another super cute craft. I wasn't able to go to the actual night but I wasn't missing out on this craft so I bought the kit.

I painted the handles red. then let them dry and painted over them with a cream color and used some sand paper to antique them.

I painted the board red. It took a couple coats. Then I used some sandpaper around the edges.

I added the vinyl and then put modge podge over the whole thing.

I added the handles and this was the final project.

Super cute right? I love how it looks actually with stockings on it.

 

Thanks Craftywives.

Christmas Crayon Picture

This is the last one that I have of this craft. But I love them and I love how they look.

A new Addition

 I guess it is about time i let everyone in on my secret that doesn't know. The reason I have been a little flighty and not very good at keeping my blog updated. 

I am expecting Baby #2 June 2. I have been really tired and I have just wanted to spend time with my 2 year old. I think it's the hormones that do that to you. Not only that but I feel like my child is more important than blogging... Sorry readers. I still love and appreciate you. I will try to post a few things a week but if I don't don't be mad.. I'm either running after my 2 year old or sleeping on the couch...

Kricket's Korner: Hair DON'T

basically I washed her hair then I separated it into lots of little ponytails then I just twisted each one up into little knot buns then bobby pinned them to her head the next morning I took them out and it was a mess. I would not do this again unless I needed to do a fro or a crazy hair day I did not like this at all. plus it took way to long!

(Hello 80's)

I might try this again doing bigger sections and making sure to wrap them more bun like instead of so twisted but it will be a while as this was such a disaster.
